Two Good Years

As for my perplexed reaction,
I need a good playing field.

You giving me good playing
has a certain come-uppance,

the silence of which was the
silence of the Nevermind,

the area we both penetrate.
Never mind the era in which

we both penetrated the
Netherlands.  Purportedly.

Hold off!  Be silent!  Catch
your breath, Bill!  The

suspension (which was
the truth that was killing

us) had never spoken so
softly, swaying, as it were,

in the hillbilly breeze,
which was full of the

distinctly indecipherable
whispers of that voice.

Said perp (the sotto voce
perp), who hasn’t been

seen (nor heard from)
since either before

or after.  During which,
the march.  The long march.
